I got the Fearless Vented Light from Lam early this week, and I click on with it after the third flight. Now, I am going to pull the trigger on the Fearless SUL and I am going to get an extra 3pt low spreaders that can be shared between the SUL and VL for mid wind range. I basically will have the whole wind range covered with two kites and three sets of bottom spreaders.

I think it's just the lighting... mine looks flat black most of the time.

All the Tattoos I've seen lately have taken on a crimson color when brightly backliit............the first time Tom and I noticed it was at Whidbey kite fest and we had to go make sure it was a Tatt.......definitely reddish.

Don't know for sure if this is the reason, but I do know that a true black is one of the most difficult colors to dye. Everytime I ordered the very same black dye, it was different.... Sometimes greenish & sometimes reddish. The only thing I could figure was that the person doing the mixing kept trying to figure out a better recipe.

It's also possible that the reddishness you are seeing is a bit of sun fade. Black horses will often get reddish too.

Is there a significant difference between Tattoo SUL and Fearless SUL?

One is all black! I think there are the same except for the sail obviously - its a stylistic thing.

The SUL is very flexible regarding tail weight and the lower spreaders. Many folks also fly with a 3pt LS.

I am sure that the physics of the appliqued sail versus pin-holed sail are different, but I think perhaps only Lam himself could detect it. Like I mentioned, swapping out the LS or especially adding more tailweight will yield a more noticeable difference in my experience.
